And We Danced

Its like an old song
On an old jukebox
Skipping in time
We two step
On an empty dance floor
We pretend the time hasn't passed
No change in the scenery
Just those same brown eyes
Starring back like before
We'll blink the song will be over
Life will continue
Without missing a beat
Our bodies move together
Across the open tiles
Pressed together like one
The raspy speakers
Crackle familiar melodies
We try and recreate
All those tender memories
Before the years have emptied us
Holding steady
Trying not to slip apart
From the us that was here
So many years ago
New lovers
A fresh new start
Now trying to out run the past
That keeps us from moving forward
But we dance tonight
Slowly sliding our feet
Over the familiar dance floor
My head rest on your shoulder
Your hands cradle me
We sway putting the song on repeat
Making sure we don't miss a beat
